I don’t know, the idea of initiating conversations with conservatives about whether they think I deserve rights or not (when they probably don’t think I do), does not sound like a good time, nor do I expect it to be particularly fruitful.
I don’t know how we get out of this, but I don’t think putting myself in hostile situations and arguing is going to be effective, you know? I think conservatives will only turn on Trump when they are personally negatively impacted by his actions. Appealing to their empathy and logic isn’t going to work, because they didn’t logic themselves into supporting him and they think empathy is woke bullshit.
Well don't put yourself in danger or anything, but even if someone doesn't like you. It's not a big deal. You don't have to feel bad because some dumb dude got annoyed with you. I kind of think of that as a badge of honor. If you are pissing off people who want to censor art, and dehymanize innocent people. You Re probably doing something right. Pissing them off shouldn't be the goal tho. It's better to walk away before you get mad. Idk, maybe worth a shot sometimes.
Many of these people are also just massively afraid of being different. Showing them that it's okay to be different can do wonders. If they see that you can go against the cult then they can as well maybe. Most people won't admit they changed. Often they have to sleep on it. Don't get discouraged just because it seems like everyone is doubling down.
Also stay safe fellow transie.
